Why Is My Eleagnus Dying?

Our 30-odd year old eleagnus, about 12 feet high and which has never flowered but has always provided dense leaf cover – is dying – the leaves are drying and falling off. What might be the reason and might it be saved? Our soil is light and well drained – the subsoil is sand. Thanks, Steve S.
